Short answer

Your account settings list every device currently signed in, with the one you are using marked. Anything you do not recognise can be revoked.

Revoking takes effect immediately rather than at that device s next sign-in.

What the list shows

Every session currently signed in to your account, with the device you are reading this on marked so you do not revoke yourself by accident. It is the place to check after using somebody else s computer or after replacing a phone.

A session you revoke is ended straight away rather than at its next request.

  1. Open your account settings. The signed-in devices sit with your profile and security.
  2. Look for anything unfamiliar. A shared computer, an old phone, a device you no longer own.
  3. Revoke it. That session ends at once.

When it is worth looking

After a shared or borrowed computer, after selling or losing a device, and any time something about your account looks unfamiliar. Those are the moments when a forgotten session matters, and they are easy to miss because nothing prompts you.

It costs 30 seconds and it is the only place that answers the question directly.

There is no password to change

Signing in runs through your Google account rather than a password held here, so the usual response of changing a password does not apply. If you are worried about access, the 2 things that do apply are revoking sessions here and securing the Google account itself.

The second of those is done with Google, not with us.

Sessions are about your account. Guest access is a separate question with separate switches.

Guests are not sessions

Guests have no account and appear nowhere in this list. Their access comes from the album link, and it is controlled by the event switches — closing uploads revokes the links they were using to send, and making the album private stops viewing.

So a link that reached the wrong people is not solved on this page.

On a business account

Each colleague signs in with their own account and carries their own role, so removing somebody s access is a question of seats and roles rather than of sessions. Revoking a session logs a device out; removing a seat removes the person.

For somebody leaving, do both.

After revoking

That device has to sign in again to reach anything, and until it does it can see nothing. Your own session is untouched, and no event, album or contribution is affected in any way.

It is one of the few actions here with no side effects at all.

Common questions

Where do I see signed-in devices?

In your account settings, with the one you are using marked.

When does revoking take effect?

Immediately, not at that device s next sign-in.

Can I change my password instead?

There is no password here. Sign-in runs through your Google account.

Do guests appear in the list?

No. Guests have no account; their access comes from the album link.

Does revoking affect my albums?

No. Nothing about your events changes.

You see a session you cannot explain

Revoke it first, then write to us with the event name. Acting first costs nothing.
